Terraform module to provision API Gatway resources.

The root module creates an API Gateway REST API along with configuring tracing, logging, and metrics.

The module also consists of the following submodules:

account-settings - to provision account-level settings for logging and metrics for API Gateway

Tip

👽 Use Atmos with Terraform

Cloud Posse uses atmos to easily orchestrate multiple environments using Terraform.
Works with Github Actions, Atlantis, or Spacelift.

Watch demo of using Atmos with Terraform

Example of running atmos to manage infrastructure from our Quick Start tutorial.

Introduction

A set of modules for configuring an API Gateway

Usage

Setup the account-level settings for logging and metrics for API Gateway:

module "api_gateway_account_settings" {
  source  = "cloudposse/api-gateway/aws//modules/account-settings"
  # version = "x.x.x"

  context = module.this.context
}

Important

In Cloud Posse's examples, we avoid pinning modules to specific versions to prevent discrepancies between the documentation and the latest released versions. However, for your own projects, we strongly advise pinning each module to the exact version you're using. This practice ensures the stability of your infrastructure. Additionally, we recommend implementing a systematic approach for updating versions to avoid unexpected changes.

Examples

Review the examples folder to see how to use the API Gateway modules.

access_log_format	The format of the access log file.	`string`	" {\n\t\"requestTime\": \"$context.requestTime\",\n\t\"requestId\": \"$context.requestId\",\n\t\"httpMethod\": \"$context.httpMethod\",\n\t\"path\": \"$context.path\",\n\t\"resourcePath\": \"$context.resourcePath\",\n\t\"status\": $context.status,\n\t\"responseLatency\": $context.responseLatency,\n \"xrayTraceId\": \"$context.xrayTraceId\",\n \"integrationRequestId\": \"$context.integration.requestId\",\n\t\"functionResponseStatus\": \"$context.integration.status\",\n \"integrationLatency\": \"$context.integration.latency\",\n\t\"integrationServiceStatus\": \"$context.integration.integrationStatus\",\n \"authorizeResultStatus\": \"$context.authorize.status\",\n\t\"authorizerServiceStatus\": \"$context.authorizer.status\",\n\t\"authorizerLatency\": \"$context.authorizer.latency\",\n\t\"authorizerRequestId\": \"$context.authorizer.requestId\",\n \"ip\": \"$context.identity.sourceIp\",\n\t\"userAgent\": \"$context.identity.userAgent\",\n\t\"principalId\": \"$context.authorizer.principalId\",\n\t\"cognitoUser\": \"$context.identity.cognitoIdentityId\",\n \"user\": \"$context.identity.user\"\n}\n"	no
additional_tag_map	Additional key-value pairs to add to each map in `tags_as_list_of_maps`. Not added to `tags` or `id`. This is for some rare cases where resources want additional configuration of tags and therefore take a list of maps with tag key, value, and additional configuration.	`map(string)`	`{}`	no
attributes	ID element. Additional attributes (e.g. `workers` or `cluster`) to add to `id`, in the order they appear in the list. New attributes are appended to the end of the list. The elements of the list are joined by the `delimiter` and treated as a single ID element.	`list(string)`	`[]`	no
context	Single object for setting entire context at once. See description of individual variables for details. Leave string and numeric variables as `null` to use default value. Individual variable settings (non-null) override settings in context object, except for attributes, tags, and additional_tag_map, which are merged.	`any`	{ "additional_tag_map": {}, "attributes": [], "delimiter": null, "descriptor_formats": {}, "enabled": true, "environment": null, "id_length_limit": null, "label_key_case": null, "label_order": [], "label_value_case": null, "labels_as_tags": [ "unset" ], "name": null, "namespace": null, "regex_replace_chars": null, "stage": null, "tags": {}, "tenant": null }	no
data_trace_enabled	Whether data trace logging is enabled for this method, which effects the log entries pushed to Amazon CloudWatch Logs.	`bool`	`false`	no
delimiter	Delimiter to be used between ID elements. Defaults to `-` (hyphen). Set to `""` to use no delimiter at all.	`string`	`null`	no
descriptor_formats	Describe additional descriptors to be output in the `descriptors` output map. Map of maps. Keys are names of descriptors. Values are maps of the form `{<br> format = string<br> labels = list(string)<br>}` (Type is `any` so the map values can later be enhanced to provide additional options.) `format` is a Terraform format string to be passed to the `format()` function. `labels` is a list of labels, in order, to pass to `format()` function. Label values will be normalized before being passed to `format()` so they will be identical to how they appear in `id`. Default is `{}` (`descriptors` output will be empty).	`any`	`{}`	no
enabled	Set to false to prevent the module from creating any resources	`bool`	`null`	no
endpoint_type	The type of the endpoint. One of - PUBLIC, PRIVATE, REGIONAL	`string`	`"REGIONAL"`	no
environment	ID element. Usually used for region e.g. 'uw2', 'us-west-2', OR role 'prod', 'staging', 'dev', 'UAT'	`string`	`null`	no
iam_tags_enabled	Enable/disable tags on IAM roles and policies	`string`	`true`	no
id_length_limit	Limit `id` to this many characters (minimum 6). Set to `0` for unlimited length. Set to `null` for keep the existing setting, which defaults to `0`. Does not affect `id_full`.	`number`	`null`	no
label_key_case	Controls the letter case of the `tags` keys (label names) for tags generated by this module. Does not affect keys of tags passed in via the `tags` input. Possible values: `lower`, `title`, `upper`. Default value: `title`.	`string`	`null`	no
label_order	The order in which the labels (ID elements) appear in the `id`. Defaults to ["namespace", "environment", "stage", "name", "attributes"]. You can omit any of the 6 labels ("tenant" is the 6th), but at least one must be present.	`list(string)`	`null`	no
label_value_case	Controls the letter case of ID elements (labels) as included in `id`, set as tag values, and output by this module individually. Does not affect values of tags passed in via the `tags` input. Possible values: `lower`, `title`, `upper` and `none` (no transformation). Set this to `title` and set `delimiter` to `""` to yield Pascal Case IDs. Default value: `lower`.	`string`	`null`	no
labels_as_tags	Set of labels (ID elements) to include as tags in the `tags` output. Default is to include all labels. Tags with empty values will not be included in the `tags` output. Set to `[]` to suppress all generated tags. Notes: The value of the `name` tag, if included, will be the `id`, not the `name`. Unlike other `null-label` inputs, the initial setting of `labels_as_tags` cannot be changed in later chained modules. Attempts to change it will be silently ignored.	`set(string)`	[ "default" ]	no
logging_level	The logging level of the API. One of - OFF, INFO, ERROR	`string`	`"INFO"`	no
metrics_enabled	A flag to indicate whether to enable metrics collection.	`bool`	`false`	no
name	ID element. Usually the component or solution name, e.g. 'app' or 'jenkins'. This is the only ID element not also included as a `tag`. The "name" tag is set to the full `id` string. There is no tag with the value of the `name` input.	`string`	`null`	no
namespace	ID element. Usually an abbreviation of your organization name, e.g. 'eg' or 'cp', to help ensure generated IDs are globally unique	`string`	`null`	no
openapi_config	The OpenAPI specification for the API	`any`	`{}`	no
permissions_boundary	ARN of the policy that is used to set the permissions boundary for the IAM role	`string`	`""`	no
private_link_target_arns	A list of target ARNs for VPC Private Link	`list(string)`	`[]`	no
regex_replace_chars	Terraform regular expression (regex) string. Characters matching the regex will be removed from the ID elements. If not set, `"/[^a-zA-Z0-9-]/"` is used to remove all characters other than hyphens, letters and digits.	`string`	`null`	no
rest_api_policy	The IAM policy document for the API.	`string`	`null`	no
stage	ID element. Usually used to indicate role, e.g. 'prod', 'staging', 'source', 'build', 'test', 'deploy', 'release'	`string`	`null`	no
stage_name	The name of the stage	`string`	`""`	no
tags	Additional tags (e.g. `{'BusinessUnit': 'XYZ'}`). Neither the tag keys nor the tag values will be modified by this module.	`map(string)`	`{}`	no
tenant	ID element _(Rarely used, not included by default)_. A customer identifier, indicating who this instance of a resource is for	`string`	`null`	no
